Auctions

There are two main types of auctions, public and private; in a private auction the identities of the bidders are hidden. In a public auction there is no anonymity and anyone can partici pate. Auctions are seen publicly in several contexts. Almost all conceivable items are bought or sold at auctions. Auctions can have a reserve or minimum, or have no minimums, or no reserve. In reserve auctions, there is a minimum bid or a reserve price; where the pre set minimum price must be met or there will be no sale. In absolute or no reserve auctions, the sale is guaranteed, with only the price left to be determined. In the context of auctions, a bid is an offered price. Some of the most typical business auctions include machinery, used goods and real estate. Though not as popular or visible to the general public, commodities auctions are the most important from a financial standpoint. In these types of auctions the bidders represent businesses. The sale of businesses, debt auctions, and spectrum auctions are just a few of available.
